Park Tool PCS-10 Home Mechanic Repair Stand

[Crossroads]

Does anyone use one of these for their E Bike ?

If so, how do you find it ?

I have a 24kg E Bike.

My current very old stand is probably not up to our Motus, and the main support under the bottom bracket is not really appropriate anyway. But a step-through won't work on a stand designed to hold by the crossbar and I suspect the balance would be wrong trying to hold it by the downtubes.

I use a "ultimate hardware folding bike bike maintenance work stand" 4 wide legs help keep the bike steady and the clamp head is indexable so there's no slipping/twisting if your bikes clamped off centre. my bike is also heavy but I always take the battery out before putting it in the stand

I use a cheap £20-30 stand, very similar to Soundwaves, that was bought me as a present a few years ago. Take the battery off to keep the weight down, and it works a treat. My bike minus battery is probable 22kg.

I extend the saddle tube and clamp on that without any problems. I use a Park Tool stand but not the PCS-10.

I have one like this.. Think its may be x-tools or some other make, but looks the same and I clamp to the seat post. Although it holds the bike with the battery in safely I remove it because if you are removing the wheels as well it keeps things more ballanced.

Yes I have got one, and I think its excellent. You can get a lot cheaper stands but I wanted something that was made for the weight of an e-bike and this stand will hopefully do me for the rest of my life. I spent £3000 on my e-bike and provided I am physically capable or ridding a bike, I hope to buy several more over the coming years. So in comparison to how much I am likely to spend on bikes until I am no longer able to ride, it is a very small proportion.

Thanks Nev,

Might just get one, although it will probably outlast me LOL

I have the PCS-10, excellent well engineered solid piece of kit. Did have a butchers (not tested) at the Aldi stand and that seemed flimsy in comparison. Maybe the Aldi stand would suffice but wasn't prepared to take a risk with a £3.5K full sus. The PCS comes with a lifetime warranty but no extras. If you want a tool tray or a bog roll holder be prepared to shell the £££. IMO the tray is a waste of money, not that I’m complaining as my PCS was a present.

Plenty of reviews online, heres one example

Take note of what it says under niggles\about uneven ground\versus the tripod type stand. Normally I work on my bike in the Kitchen when OH is out so its not an issue for me.
